Stella Marina

The location is very convenient, close to the center of Polignano and handy for a few days in town. There’s no reserved parking, as is normal for Polignano, but free parking is 350 meters away by the train station. The host can explain how the property and its amenities work. Our room was a subterranean space: downstairs there was a sofa, small table with a whirlpool tub, little refrigerator (with water and prosecco waiting for us), and coffee machine. The ground-floor bathroom had a shower in good condition, though the shower head may need updating. A few steps lead up to a mezzanine with a double bed and small closet. There are TVs, but we didn’t use them. The walls have a quaint feel. It’s recommended overall, though not cheap. Prices are lower than at some other properties, but the lack of balconies, windows, and so on may limit how usable it feels.

The rooms were lovely, furnished in a romantic style, and we felt right at home. Mrs. Antonella was genuinely kind and quick to respond whenever we needed something. Her husband showed us to the rooms and was extremely helpful, smiling, and kind. There was a coffee machine, tea, water, and a bottle of sparkling wine. From our experience, it would be useful to leave glasses and cutlery. The place is close to the center, station, and amenities, so it’s convenient for everything. Congratulations!

Parking was a real challenge, though that’s common across Italy. The hosts gave me useful advice, and I managed to find several nearby choices, both free and paid. The facilities were excellent, the beds comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. The location is very good, and the hosts communicated clearly and looked after us well. Breakfast is at a bar three blocks away, with coffee, a cornetto, and juice. It’s good quality, though that part could be improved.

The owner was attentive and did everything she could to meet our needs. Our suite with a hot tub was spread over three levels, furnished beautifully, and felt elegant and romantic. It came with plenty of towels, slippers, a hairdryer, Netflix, a fridge, air conditioning, a kettle, and more. The location is convenient, just steps from the center but away from the bustle, with a barber shop and mini market nearby. Free parking is a few hundred meters away and easy to reach. We had a dream experience, and I’d highly recommend it for a romantic getaway.
